REFEREE SCHEDULING/ASSIGNING
Referees are assigned games primarily by
the use of an on-line service provided by Arbitersports.com
as well as hands-on administration by our referee assignors using
the telephone and email.
Art Mitchell, Arnold Baldeaux and Bob Peterson
are the three regional assignors based on school conferences/leagues.
Their responsibilities are to liaison with their respective schools
and manage those game assignments. Bob Peterson oversees the assigning
program and liaison with individual referees. Jesus Sanchez assigns
in Imperial Valley. Their contact info is on the Contacts page.
USING ARBITERSPORTS
Before any ref is assigned a game the ref
must have an email address on file with SCSOASD, have a password
provided by SCSOASD and do the following:
On the Arbitersports site, to see the complete
lists of sites, teams or partners, you must check the "show
all" box in the upper right corner of each page.
1. If you are not available to work everyday,
you must go to the calendar block and pick the days you will NOT
work. The program cannot handle a preference of "I will work
x days a week." Therefore, if you only want to work
3 days a week you must select the days you will work and block
the other days of the week. Please keep in mind our big assignment
days are Wednesday and Friday.
2. If you have a relationship with a school that should preclude
you from being assigned to that school, block the site not the
teams. You can block up to 3 sites.
3. If you have a relationship with a specific team that should
preclude you from being assigned to that particular team, home
and away, block that specific team. You can block up to 3 teams.
4. Review your partner blocks. You may block up to 3 partners.
5. Set your travel limits. The default is a travel limit of 50
miles one way. NOTE, for tournament coverage, your travel limit
on Saturday should be greater than your weekday travel limit.
6. Review under travel limits your starting zip code. The default
is your address. Therefore, if you are leaving from work, change
the starting zip code accordingly. NOTE, you can have a different
starting zip code for each day of the week. This will allow you
greater variety in assignments.
7. Review and correct you address and telephone numbers. Check
the privacy box on the Address Green Bar if you do not want other
referees and schools to see your address information.
8. Finally, MARK YOURSELF READY FOR ASSIGNING by checking the
box in the lower left corner of your start page.
